Handbook of Research on Advanced Intelligent Control Engineering and Automation [Hardback]

"This book presents the latest research into intelligent control technologies with the goal of advancing knowledge and applications in various domains"--

This reference for scientists and engineers presents analysis and design of various types of control systems, such as adaptive control, nonlinear control, and intelligent control. The book’s international contributors are experts and researchers in electrical engineering, physics, and system dynamics; many are from Tunisia and Algeria. The book’s 25 chapters are grouped in six sections on nonlinear control systems, chaos and control applications, intelligent control applications, robotics and control applications, time-delay and switched control systems, and power systems and engineering applications. Some specific subjects addressed include a random bit generator based on non-autonomous chaotic systems, discrete-time approximation of multivariable continuous-time delay systems, and stabilization and control of mechanical systems with backlash. The book is for scientists and engineers interested in applying new computational and mathematical tools for solving problems in mathematical modeling, simulation, automation, and control. Readers should have some knowledge of differential equations, vector-matrix analysis, and mechanics. Annotation ©2015 Ringgold, Inc., Portland, OR (protoview.com)
